BBQ catering in Sydenham Hill, served hot
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. On the menu are sausages, chicken skewers and beef brisket, and typical bookings are for fundraising days and leaving and retirement parties.
In Sydenham Hill, the barbecue might go in a garden, a school playground or a works yard. Let us know about the route in. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Autumn and winter barbecues in Sydenham Hill get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Request gluten-free rolls
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Why choose BBQ catering in Sydenham Hill?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Six meats to choose from
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Add a hog roast alongside
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Parking near the grill
As a London location, Sydenham Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
